How we saved 50% of cloud costs: Tryg Insurance shares patterns for dynamic right-sizing of large Kubernetes cloud footprint

Meeting SLOs while also reducing cloud costs requires right-sizing and optimal configuration of the Kubernetes environment for your apps. Cluster size, compute shape, scaling, resource requests, are among the many factors impacting service experience and associated costs. However, it is often challenging to accurately estimate the needs of your applications or dynamically adjust to achieve this cost-performance sweet spot.

Tryg - Scandinavia’s largest non-life insurance company – will share the concrete methods they use to accurately measure resource utilization for their claims processing app, right-size their K8s environment, and automate dynamic resizing. This enables them to only pay for the resources needed – resulting in significant cost savings without compromising on performance.
